Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); 

Transportation in Conjunction With 

Official Travel and Relocation 

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide 

Policy, General Services Administration 

(GSA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends the 

Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), by 

adding new terms and definitions for 

‘‘Official travel’’ and ‘‘Transit system’’; 

clarifies reimbursement for 

transportation at an official station 

while en route to and/or from an 

authorized temporary duty (TDY) 

location; clarifies reimbursement for 

transportation expenses within the 

surrounding area of a TDY location and 

provisions for payment under the FTR; 

and clarifies when the Government 

contractor-issued travel charge card 

must be used while on official travel. 

Clarification of this rule is addressed in 

the supplementary information below. 

DATES: Effective date: This final rule is 

effective June 4, 2010. Applicability 

date: This final rule is applicable to 

travel performed on and after June 4, 

2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), Room 

4041, GS Building, Washington, DC 

20405, (202) 501–4755, for information 

pertaining to status or publication 

schedules. For clarification of content, 

contact Rick Miller, Office of 

Governmentwide Policy, at (202) 501– 

3822 or e-mail at rodney.miller@gsa.gov. 

Please cite FTR Amendment 2010–02, 

FTR case 2010–302. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Title 5, United States Code § 5707 (5 

U.S.C. 5707), authorizes the 

Administrator of General Services to 

prescribe necessary regulations to 

implement laws regarding Federal 

employees who are traveling while in 

the performance of official business 

away from their official stations. 

Similarly, 5 U.S.C. 5738 mandates that 

the Administrator of General Services 

prescribe regulations relating to official 

relocation. The overall implementing 

authority is the Federal Travel 

Regulation (FTR), codified in Title 41 

Code of Federal Regulations, Chapters 

300–304 (41 CFR chapters 300–304). 

Expenses incurred at an employee’s 

official station not in conjunction with 

TDY and/or relocation do not fall under 

the authority of the FTR. Therefore, this 

final rule adds terms and definitions for 

‘‘Official travel’’ and ‘‘Transit system’’ 

and also removes references to ‘‘local 

travel,’’ ‘‘local transit system,’’ ‘‘local 

transportation,’’ ‘‘local transportation 

system,’’ ‘‘local telephone calls,’’ and 

‘‘local metropolitan transportation 

fares,’’ for reimbursement that is not in 

conjunction with TDY and/or 

relocation. Federal employees should 

adhere to their agency’s policies for 

reimbursement of expenses incurred for 

transportation within the vicinity of 

their official stations when expenses do 

not pertain to TDY or relocation. This 

final rule clarifies that the Government 

contractor-issued travel charge card will 

only be used for the purposes of official 

travel-related expenses and not for 

personal use while on an official travel 

authorization. 

B. Executive Order 12866 

This is not a significant regulatory 

action and, therefore, was not subject to 

review under Section 6(b) of Executive 

Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

final rule is not a major rule under 5 

U.S.C. 804. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This final rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

within the meaning of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., 

because the revisions are not considered 

substantive. This final rule is also 

exempt from the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act per 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) because it 

applies to agency management. 

D. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply because the changes to the 

FTR do not impose recordkeeping or 

information collection requirements, or 

the collection of information from 

offerors, contractors, or members of the 

public that require the approval of the 

Office of Management and Budget under 

44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

congressional review prescribed under 5 

U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to 

agency management and personnel.
